Favourite Johnny Cash song?

go away, for me

:0

Unusually , he got better towards the end. Maybe death concentrates the mind.

Should have stayed with the Beach Boys, i thought his solo stuff was pretty average.

You're young and callow BHLL.

Hurt

i know its not originally by him but he gives so much soul to the song that it is the definitive JC song.

Except he changed the words.

Hurt.

With the video it's wonderfully moving.

i like the Live at San Quentin album as well as the American Recordings.
Starkville City Jail

Fulsom Prison Blues for the line "I shot man in Reno just to see him die".

Jesus fecking Christ. It was me who started banging on about 'Hurt' on here a few years back and I've just watched it again...you won't beat that. Ever. A man watching his wife day and seeing his own end is soon to follow, and retching every ounce of emotion from his gut to sing about it. It's truly staggering.

*die

ffs

Except it was written by heroin addict Trent Reznor about addiction and could never possibly be bettered.

reg I am reading his autobiography right now, and I believe he wrote that song when he was thinking of **ing on the mrs

Hurt

His cover of 'I See Darkness' was awesome.
